Quick question, just had a chick hatch without a toenail on it's middle toe, will it grow eventually? Or just a birth defect and will never regrow it? Its brother and sisters who have just hatched all have all their toenails
Would anyone near Merced California be looking to trade a young Roo for a hen or two depending on quality? I can get pictures later if anyone is interested.
I'm asking because I want to sound reasonable assuming my neighbors do not know about Seramas. They might be thinking I'm crazy for asking what I paid, for "just a chicken", in respect to a reimbursement.
So one of my Roo's was sadly just killed by my neighbour's dog. I talked to one of the occupants and they said they could reimburse me for damages. Not sure what I should do right now, any thoughts?
Will do, my hen has been laying every other couple days. Have 5 from her but 3 are probably no longer well since they're old even though stored properly. I think she may go broody soon again
I once had a hen go brrody after the first 4 eggs she laid to a total of 13 eggs. By the time she had gone broody the first 4 eggs had spoiled and already began to form but died in the process because of the weather where i live. But out of the 9 eggs afterwards she hatched every single one of them.
One of my hens just went broody! Can't wait to see a bunch of chicks running around my backyard again! :) If any of you have hens that go broody, let mama hen do their jobs. It'll be a great experience!
Honestly, price depends from breeder to breeder along with quality lines, good genetic backgrounds and other factors. Whether being show quality or pet quality, but then again the seller decides the prices. Sort of hard to say but chicks can go anywhere from $5 and above
Serama Roo's are great with kids. They'll be protective of the whole family. Yes chick feed should be grinded or use chick starter feed, and also the hen will provide heat
for the chicks but maybe add a heat lamp just in case :)
You should definately let the hen care for her chicks. She'll teach the chicks how to survive from the moment they hatch. She'll teach them how to eat and drink. In my experience, chicks raised by their mothers are far more healthy and are very hardy. You should bring the hen into an isolated...
